I have a 94 which has dowels instead of bolt holes on top left and right leaving 14 bolt holes per head. I was able to get bolts in all but one - 27 bolts. I used Stage 8 bolts and find it necessary to re-tighten these every so often due to bolts backing out. I had a discussion with Jim (QB93) today about cutting long end off of locking tabs that came with Stage 8 bolt kit and installing locking tabs as many as possible with the car on the lift. I think cutting long end off or grinding it down will allow it to slip on against the header runners and function as intended.
I will post up once we try this.
